So, I planted a mix from the local seed store April 1. Certainly a bit early by a few weeks but I was trying to time the rain. Well, it rained and then no more for three weeks. Some seed germinated, some didn't. Three weeks later we got more rain then agaion maybe a week later. Another round of seeds germinated and I had peas, beans, and buckwheat coming up good..
I asked a few weeks ago how long peas and beans would stay at the two leaf stage..Because it was like they were stuck there. We have about 4 inched of rain a week ago and I thought certainly things would shoot up.. Well, the weeds sure have.. But, the pea have made NO progress beyond the two leaf stage and in fact some sort of insects have pretty much wiped out the peas.. I mean completely eating the leafs.. Maybe grass hopers I don't know..
Is seems that the soybeans are not getting affected just the peas.. I'm really at a loss and and a bit disolusioned by the whole foodplot event this spring..
What would YOU do? Replant? Wait till August for fall plots? If I did replant should I try to kill everything off or just disk it all in?
Man, I'm pretty bummed.. We put it so much work for this spring plot..
